Rival clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal will celebrate the sensational transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia by fielding a mixed team in a friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain this month – where Lionel Messi is set to sign a new contract.
Messi is set to line-up against Ronaldo in the friendly match in Riyadh, due to be staged on January 19. It is anticipated that PSG will field a strong team for the game against the home side, who will play a team consisting of players from the two capital city clubs.
Ronaldo completed a stunning move to the Saudi Arabia club on Friday and is expected to earn in the region of £173million per year. The deal comes after Ronaldo ended his relationship with Manchester United by mutual consent in November following a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
